Petey, are you saying there was a nut on the loose?

So shouldn't the title be changed now from "my newish car" ... ?

So is that the engine or box?. I can't tell from the pic. Looks like Engine??

Haha it's engine, started stripping parts off today, might go built bottom end and bigger turbo. It didn't spend much time on the limiter. More than i woulda liked but shouldn't be enough to blow the motor but who knows. Can smell the e85 everywhere on the tear down so far lol

So this is a semi long post with a few photos. Since the F6 blew up nothing really happened until recently i picked up a second hand XR6t motor and that arrived Friday. The deal with my mates shop was he does it between jobs no rush takes a few weeks.
Step 1 tow truck

Step 2 new home for a while

Step 3 Hey rod what are you doing there

Step 4 rod and piston 6

Step 5 Day after i drop the car off, new motor in

Step 6 Still day after i dropped it off, running now i just need to save up and pay for it lol

So are you going to be running as high as last time?

Nope lol

So i spose youve lost a bit of power?. Are the ford and fpv engines different?

Atm it's still got the 400rwkw tune in it. Once i empty this tank of e85 im filling up with 98 and loading in a quick 98 tune i had done. Goes in for real tune Monday. Gonna be at 12 psi on 98 I'm guessing around 320rwkw. Ford motor has weaker bottom end. Hence this solution is just to daily this car. Plan to cam an ls1 and put it in my vn calais with a t56

Just a casual 320rwkw daily eh. Good for fuel I spose haha

Eh only 320kw, but what about the Nm...

Probably be around 800nm i guess

I beg to differ, the fact you got double the nm that motor was ever designed for says to me it was a pretty strong bottom end Lol.

I believe he meant the ford motor is weaker than the FPV motor?

Ahh ok, my bad.

correct boys lol. Back on 98 fuel now, took it for a quick burst around the block and she still feels bloody fast but i have only been using a 5L VN for the past couple of months lol

Cant beat the sound of the ol Aussie 5L motor!

Ferrari V12?

This guy.....I like!

I like both pretty equally I reckon, different sounds. Also love the sound of an F355

Yeah it's a different sound lol. Well F6 is retuned, on a nice safe tune its punching a very streetable 320rwkw and 850nm lol

So thought I'd update this, the car was shit after the retune and I barely drove it, probably a couple of weeks in the 3 months of rego. So I decided to go to a new shop because the previous shop just didn't have the time to sort my issues. So turned out the car had over 20 fault codes and the trans was leaking badly and the standard heat exchanger was useless. So new zf trans cooler, trans flush, fault codes cleared (a lot were caused by gunk from the motor popping) new in tank fuel pump and a new tune. It pulled 315rwkw and the driveability is a lot better now and with the cams it is nice and lumpy at the lights lol. Here's some pics even though I know it looks the same lol.

Get yourself an obdII interface for like $30 man and you can see / clear codes. Plus live readouts of all ecu values.

I had all the problems fixed not just codes cleared lol I can see them/clear them through my flash tuning tool
